Rear Drum Support Roller Kit Installation

I just purchased a rear drum support roller kit to replace both rollers in the back of my Maytag PYE2000AYW. The kit I bought (LA-1008) shipped with only one nylon spacer. The instructions say there should be two spacers, and both get installed on the right side. The dryer currently has no spacers on either side.

I have two questions:

1. Both cylinder support shafts are the same length and both rollers are the same thickness. Why does one need spacers and one not need spacers? I went to a hardware store and bought enough spacers for both sides, if needed.

2. The kit didn't ship with or mention any lubricant. Is the roller self-lubricating - if not, what is the best lubricant to use here...?

Thanks for your help...

The spacers are not important , And the rollers are not self lubricating , just add a couple drops of any weight of oil on the shafts before sliding the wheels on. You can add a few drops on the idler arm/belt tentioner as well while your in there.
Lube and clean dryer every year and it will last a long time.
Hope this helps.

My problem is with a bizhub 181, because the copies are opaques. I already check and replace the imaging kit. but is damaged.

Sir/Mam,
Is the machine set up as a printer also do print come out ok? Copies from the big glass ok? Mite be the electrical connection to the sponge roller on the right side door the sponge looking roller is what helps the transfer of the image off the drum to the paper. The paper is guided between both the drum and that sponge looking roller to place the image on the paper. There is a high voltage applied to that roller during the copy cycle. the connection for the roller is on the copier at the rear where the right side door closes

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/normanj_7893313f0751935f

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you


Drive Motor

The dryer drive motor turns the drum and the blower wheel to exhaust the air. If the dryer stops the motor might be defective. If the dryer stops and the dryer motor makes a humming noise there might be something caught in the blower wheel, or the drum might be binding. Try removing the belt from the motor and checking the blower wheel for obstructions. Also try rotating the drum by hand with the belt off, it should rotate freely. If the drum doesn't turn freely, determine what is causing it to bind. The dryer motor can't be tested easily. If the drum turns freely and the blower wheel is clear, and yet the dryer still keeps stopping mid-cycle the motor may be defective. it will need to be replaced. It is not serviceable.

Drum Roller Axle

This dryer has drum support rollers. There will always be two supporting the rear of the drum, and on some models there may be two supporting the front of the drum. The rollers must spin freely to work properly. If the roller axles are worn out the rollers may not spin freely which can overload the motor and the dryer stops. If the dryer stops mid-cycle, remove the belt and spin the drum, it should spin freely. If not, check the rollers and roller shafts.

Drum Roller

This dryer has drum support rollers. There will always be two supporting the rear of the drum, and on some models there may be two supporting the front of the drum. The rollers must spin freely to work properly. If they are worn out or start binding the motor can get overloaded and the dryer stops. If the dryer stops mid-cycle, check to be sure the drum turns freely with the belt removed. If not, check the rollers. Do not lubricate the rollers or roller shaft, lubrication will attract lint and cause the roller bearings to wear out faster. If the rollers don't turn freely, replace them. The roller shaft can often be reused, unless it has worn down. Clean the shaft thoroughly before installing the new rollers.

Drum Slide, Glide, or Pad

The front of the dryer drum is supported by small pieces of plastic-like material. As the drum rotates, it slides on these plastic pieces. If the dryer stops mid-cycle, it may be that one or more of these plastic slides or glides has worn out. When they wear out the drum can start binding and put strain on the motor. The motor then shuts down and the dryer stops. Check the glides for wear and replace as needed.

Drum Bearing

The drum bearing supports the rear of the dryer drum. Over time this bearing will wear out and may cause several different problems. If the dryer stops during the cycle it may be that this drum bearing has worn out and is putting too much strain on the motor. If the belt is removed and the drum spins freely, the drum bearing is probably not worn out. If the drum bearing is worn out, there may be some grinding or squealing, and the drum will be hard to turn.

Dryness Control Board

The dryness control board shuts off the dryer when the clothes have reached the level of dryness selected by the user. If the dryer stops too early, the dryness control board might be defective. This is not very common and other possibilities should be checked first.

Extreme rumbling,vibration have it apart whats the best way to tell if the drum is out of round or the rollers are shot have cleaned vent and motor. motor runs smoothly on its own

You rotate the drum rollers looking for an eliptical outer surface rubber of the rollers. Also make sure the rollers do not teeter fore and aft on the roller shaft.
Next grab the idler pulley for the belt and see if there is any play in the ldler.
Worn drum felts / gaskets or a front bearing glide can also contribute to the problem

See this link for parts:
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=47834&diagram_id=28471897#d28471897

Item numbers you need to check are
6, (unusual wear)
14, drum gaskets {2 ea front and rear} (torn, worn or folded)
18. Just replace the belt if your into it this deep..... especially if the dryer is +5 years old
23, (roller Shaft for wear)
24, roller for wear center and outside surfaces
30. Drum glides (Kit)

A rumble is usually associated with a bad fan blade...as in the center of the fan blade hub is cracked or broken. Check the fan for play.. also hold the motor drive pulley and see if the fan rotates on the motor shaft. It should NOT rotate without turning the drive pulley
A squeal is associated with the belt or idler pulley
A thump is a drum/felt/roller/glide problem.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

Our Dell 5110cn stopped working and the 'diagnostic' said to replace the transfer roller. I had purchased a Dell Imaging Drum and replaced that. I believe it has a transfer roller as part of the Imaging...

Dell sells the drum & transfer roller a kit, but there are 2 different parts to it, the drum & the transfer roller & they do not look the same. Replacing the drum does NOT replace the transfer roller. We've had a 5110cn for 4 years, I've replace both of these parts & the fuser unit several times.

Griding noise while spinning. the unit heats and spins but makes grinding noise as if the drum were off track

Hello Friend, Your problem is very simple to fix. You need to replace the Rear drum support rollers. To replace the Rear drum support rollers just remove front of dryer body exposing the drum, look under the drum and you will see the belt and tention wheel in front of the motor. Now, release the tention on the belt and remove belt from motor shaft. At this point you can remove the drum up and out of the dryer cabinet. Look towards the rear of the dryer cabinet and you will see the rear drum rollers. The roller on the left has a support strap held on by a press on clip. just pry this clip off and remove support bar. Now there will be a plactic triangular clip holding the roller in place. Just remove the plastic clip and replace roller. The roller on the right just has the triangle plastic clip just remove and replace that roller as well. Be sure to lubricate the roller shafts with some 3 in one oil prior to re-installing the new rollers. Make sure you re-install all of the retaining clips. After re-assymbly of your dryer if should run like new. Happy to help, Tim. And please don't forget to give me your rating for my help. Thanks.

Xerox 8400dp, on righ hand (facing fron of the printer), paper is glued to drum to this extend as to tear pieces off. seem like either oil is not greasing the drum or drum is not heating? or overheating?...

I would start by taking the maintenance kit our and looking at the white roller. See if it is deplted of oil, or see if it's damaged.
If dry or damaged, replace it. But once you do, run the procedure for cleaning smears from copies.
You may have a transfix roller problem also.
That is the back roller that presses the paper against the drum to pick up the ink. It is below that green guide under the upper cover that picks paper off the drum.
I really suspect a problem with the maintenance kit.
Let me know if you notice damage to the kit or the roller. IF they are fine let me know . You could have a bad drum wiper blade.
